I think this was talked about here yesterday, but I heard about it again on NPR this morning. I was surprised the MSM even bothered to mention it.

On NPR, they talked to the sheriff of the county it happened in. He said that's the *second* time this has happened in his county. Why we didn't hear about the first time, I don't know.

But he said that with or without the Federal government's help, he's sick of it, and he's going to put a stop to it. Good luck to him, I say!
